Kodak Black was recently arrested in Florida, according to TMZ, and his lawyer Bradford Cohen has already spoken out.

Kodak Black was arrested on Wednesday in connection with alleged drug trafficking charges, according to TMZ. Per the report, Kodak was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department.

The artist is being accused of trafficking a drug called METHYLE.-METH (MDMA). For those who may not know, this is a synthetic drug that is considered to be a stimulant.

Kodak Black's attorney, Bradford Cohen, has already leveled a response against the allegations. In a statement to TMZ, Cohen revealed what this arrest stemmed from. In November of 2025, a vehicle was searched containing one passenger. The passenger involved was not Kodak. However, the police allegedly found a bag with various items, including prescription cough syrup. The bottle allegedly had Kodak's fingerprints on it.
